True ... but they don't half drag it out. In this country we'd be long done & in the pub analysing the finer points, but over there they have so many breaks it never gets started properly. Remember going to watch New Orleans Siants at "Football". Took the whole night. The bars were all closed when we'd done.
Yeah, once watched Boston red sox at baseball years ago in a bar with some yanks, even thats drawn out with commercials every 5 minutes. Shall we keep quiet about the test matches!
Test matches are brilliant - they are just tuned to fit in maximum drinking. The only thing they didn't factor in is the weather. Having said that, I have actually been in a hospitality box at Headingley for a full day of no play, where everyone around got lashed and ate food. I think the British pretty much have their sport sussed!!
